Ukraine-based streaming analytics company Esports Charts announced this week that it has partnered with European tournament organizer Starladder to support the Counter-Strike 2 competition, the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025.
Financial terms of this new partnership were not disclosed.
The Counter-Strike 2 Major marks the tournament organizer’s return hosting a Counter-Strike Major—something it hasn’t done since 2019. Starladder was recently acquired by India-based tournament organizer and gaming festival company NODWIN Gaming.
Under the terms of this new partnership, Esports Charts will provide audience data and other insights throughout the event, as well as post-event when gauging the impact and exposure of the organizer’s sponsorships and partnerships.
“We are thrilled and proud to provide viewership analytics for StarLadder for the Budapest Major 2025. Since both Esports Charts and StarLadder are Ukraine-born companies, we share similar values and deal with similar challenges, which brings us even closer.
Taking place at the 20,000-seat MVM Dome in Budapest, Hungary, the Starladder Budapest Major will feature 32 of the world’s best Counter-Strike 2 teams competing for a chunk of the $1.25 million USD prize pool. The competition is set to run from Nov. 24 – Dec. 14.
